2006 LUPICAIA Castello del Terriccio

2006 LUPICAIA Castello del Terriccio

Grapes: Merlot  Cabernet Sauvignon  Origin: Italy, Tuscany
Lea & Sandeman review
Terriccio's top wine, Lupicaia, might well be considered to be ambitiously priced, but this vintage is looking so good it is quite difficult not to say it is worth it. We just wish it were a little less expensive so that we could sell more, but then we would say the same about Bordeaux. A classic Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Suavignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot, aged eighteen months in new 'barriques', this is treated very much like a top Bordeaux but somehow retains all the character of Terriccio, which makes it so unique.

Other reviews and comments
The flagship wine. 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 8-9% Petit Verdot. Round and chewy and polished. Lush. Lifted, fresh tea-leaf aromas. Very grippy for the moment. Drink 2012-2020   17.5
Jancis Robinson MW OBE - www.JancisRobinson.com
The 2006 Lupicaia is a highly promising effort. A melange of black fruit, leather, licorice, tar, cassis and minerals sits on a massive, brooding frame. Sage, rosemary and violets develop in the glass, adding further complexity. The Lupicaia reveals gorgeous depth and striking purity in its fruit. As is often the case, it is painfully young at this stage, but all that is required is a few more years in bottle. Lupicaia is Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot that spent 18 months in French oak. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026.   94/100
Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Beautiful aromas of ripe berries, dark chocolate, flowers, spices and sandalwood. Develops wonderfully. Full-bodied, with polished, refined tannins and a very long finish. Tight and racy now. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best after 2012. 2,200 cases made   93/100
